Press Release Body = Nearly 500,000 people in the United States will have eye surgery this year. As the population ages, that number will grow to 1 million. Almost none of them will have gone into surgery well informed and some of those people will be needlessly blinded. Eyesurgeryinformation.com wants to change that.
Doctors try to inform their patients with charts and graphs but in reality they talk medical jargon to non-technical people. With eye surgery being a $1 billion industry, there is a lot of marketing hype and a lot of social pressure on people to get surgery. There are downsides, however, that most people don't realize. In an article about Lasik surgery on the Eyesurgeryinformation.com website the Federal Trade Commission states the following:
. Lasik is surgery to a very delicate part of the eye. . Hundreds of thousands of people have had Lasik, most very successfully. . As with any surgery, there are risks and possible complications. . Lasik may not give you perfect vision. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reports that seven out of 10 patients achieve 20/20 vision, but 20/20 does not always mean perfect vision. . If you have Lasik to correct your distance vision, you\'ll still need reading glasses around age 45. . Lasik surgery is too new to know if there are any long-term ill effects beyond five years after surgery. . Lasik surgery cannot be reversed. . Most insurance does not cover the surgery. . You may need additional surgery - called \"enhancements\" - to get the best possible vision after Lasik. Dan Foley, CEO of Eyesurgeryinformation.com said. "People have only five senses and vision is highly important to quality of life. We want people to be informed about their options when it comes to their eyes."
Foley also said, "We want our site to be normal people talking to normal people. This will make it easier for them to make an informed decision."
